This section is the most diverse one within the subgenus in which subgroups differ according to the relationships of the lengths of leaves and scapes ( leaves shorter, equal or longer than scapes ) and inflorescences ( fasciculate, umbellate or subglobose ).
32.
The species is closely related to the Chinese " Ligustrum lucidum ", differing in its smaller size ( " L . lucidum " making a tree to over 10 m tall ), and elongated oval ( not subglobose ) fruit.
33.
The stem is 115-185 ?6 11 mm, pale cream to pale beige or isabella color or pale grayish brown, with a faint appressed zigzag girdles of fibrils, with a fleshy subglobose ( infrequently either globose or broadly ellipsoid ) and inamyloid.
34.
As a shrub 1 m ( 3.28 feet ) to 2m ( 6.56 feet ) high with a subglobose, not entirely spherical, laterally compressed, flattened on a side habit; it has a diameter ranging from 10 cm ( 3.94 inches ) to 40 cm ( 15.75 inches ).
35.
""'Mucor ellipsoideus " "'is a fungus first isolated from human clinical specimens in the US . " M . ellipsoideus " is able to grow and M . indicus ", but the former has narrow ellipsoidal sporangiospores, as compared to the subglobose to ellipsoidal sporangiospores of the latter.
36.
Stevenson classified " Amanita nothofagi " in the section " Phalloideae " of the genus " Amanita ", but Ridley considered it better placed in section " Validae " because of its " subglobose basidiospores, a clavate or occasionally abruptly bulbous stipe base, with sparse bands or a rim of volva material ."
37.
The spores are also quite distinct between the two, in that the spores of " L . amethysteo-occidentalis " are not as strongly globose as those of " L . amethystina ", being generally of a subglobose or even broadly ellipsoid shape, and additionally having much shorter spines than the spores of " L . amethystina ".
38.
Its spore features are intermediate between " L . amethystina " and " L . amethysteo-occidentalis ", having a subglobose to broadly ellipsoid shape like " L . amethysteo-occidentalis " ( rather than the strongly globose shape of " L . amethystina " spores ) and long spines characteristic of " L . amethystina ".
39.
"Opuntia fragilis " is a small, prostrate plant, rarely more than 4 inches high : joints tumid, fragile, easily detached, oval, elliptical, or subglobose, 1-2 in . long and nearly as thick as broad, bright green : areoles ??in . apart, with whitish wool and a few white to yellow bristles, which are much longer and more abundant on older joints; spines 1-4, occasionally a few small additional ones, weak, dark brown, the upper one usually longer and stronger than the others, rarely an inch in length : flowers greenish yellow, 1-1?inches wide : fruit ovate to subglobose . with few spines or bristles, mostly sterile, an inch or less long; seeds few and large.
